The Model 557 was designed with light bearing handguns in mind, featuring a two-in-one holster design. The rig boasts the capability to fit firearms with or without a mounted light. Safariland says this setup is ideal for those carrying light-bearing pistols. The 557 sports an ejection port detent that grips the ejection port of the firearm, securing it in the holster.

“Typically, without a light, a concealed carry, close-to-the-body-designed holster may have wiggle room and the handgun could wobble around. The Safariland 557 eliminates this issue since it secures the weapon even without the light,” James Dawson, duty gear category director at Safariland, said in a press release. “It’s the ideal holster if you’re on a plain clothes 12-hour shift and don’t want to change your holster once you remove your light.”
